Greetings and thank you for yet another opportunity to come to you today. It is wonderful just spending time in the word of God and praying together and being encouraged in our walk of faith and in growing in the things of God. This week, we are talking about speaking and praying in tongues and how it benefits us and how wonderful this gift is God has given and made available to every child of God. I want to remind us that this is one of the ways that God has given to us to be built up, strengthened spiritually. We said a couple of days ago that this is one of the ways God has given to us to be refreshed and renewed spiritually. Yesterday, we talked about the fact that it enables us to pray and speak things beyond our own mind. Today, we learn that it is a way by which we can be built up spiritually. 1 Corinthians chapter 14, verse 4, Paul wrote, ‘He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself.’ In Jude chapter 1, verse 20, Jude said, ‘building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,’ As we speak or pray in tongues, what are we doing? We are edifying ourselves or we are building ourselves up spiritually. It is like in the natural, we are built up, we feed ourselves, we exercise, and we are strengthened. The same thing happens to us spiritually when we pray or speak in tongues. We are edifying and strengthening ourselves, we are building ourselves up spiritually. If you want to imagine or visualize it, you can think of recharging your batteries, or building up a building, whatever way you want to imagine it, your inner person is being strengthened as you pray in tongues. I encourage you, pray in tongues often, pray in tongues a lot, pray in tongues whenever you get a chance because your spirit is being built up, you are being strengthened. Whenever there is a need, you can draw out of that charge, you can draw out of that strength you have built into your spirit, just by praying in tongues. It is a God given way for us to strengthen ourselves spiritually, use it as often as you can. Father, thank you for giving us this wonderful means by which every child of God can be built up spiritually. If there be anyone listening right now, who hasn’t started praying or speaking in tongues, may that be released in them and may they experience this in their lives, in Jesus’s name, Amen.
